Alaska Science Fair

WEDNESDAY @ Noon: There will be a meeting to discuss an opportunity to participate in Alaskan research projects -or to invent your own- for the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair. Projects fit into 13 different categories and all projects include the chance to earn scholarships and other prizes, as well as a trip to L.A. to share the project with a national audience. Local participants have earned scholarships and jump-started their professional lives by participating, so come to the meeting on Wednesday! (Let Brian know if you would like lunch included)

THANKS! Brian Gehring Steller Secondary Physics / Physical Science

The Countdown Has Begun – 1 month until our Annual Steller Auction!

When: Saturday, October 15th @ 6:00 p.m.

Where: Steller Gym and MPR

The annual auction is our only fundraising activity, so please start bringing gently used or interesting items to the office (please, no clothing). Donation forms will be available for those wishing to track for tax reasons. Proceeds go towards things such as student grants for projects, travel scholarships for intensives, and Steller community led school improvements.  Thank you to those who have already brought items in!

Many hands make light work – if you would like to volunteer to help in any way, please contact Janine Nesheim at 522-6626 or nesheims@gci.net.   Thank you to all who have already signed up to volunteer!

9th Grade Class Ventures to the Museum on Sept 21 Wed

fall-foilage-eagle-river-aug-22-2015The ninth grade class will be walking along the bike trail to the Anchorage Museum on Sept 21, Wednesday. The trip is happening so suddenly, because we want to see the View from Up Here exhibit which leaves the museum the first week of October. See HERE

We could use 7 chaperones from Steller if any adults wish to attend. Permission slip for ASD attached HERE and photography permission for the museum attached HERE.

Ninth graders currently in AK Studies may use this field trip for one of their cultural standards assignments.

Seven Reasons for a Trip to the Museum from Steller

  • Share an experience outside the building with friends

  • Enjoy a beautiful fall day and look for birds

  • Learn something new and unexpected

  • Study Alaska through activities

  • Leave the daily routine

  • Tell the rest of Steller about the day

  • Bond

Yes there is a free lunch!!

souper stellerSouper Steller this Friday! Need PARENT HELP! Marla’s advisory group chose tomato basil and everybody’s favorite chicken tortilla soup! For those who are new this year, Souper Steller is an all volunteer run program and an opportunity for every student and faculty member to a complimentary warm lunch together on Fridays! (Scheduled according to how much $ and parent/student help are signed up)

We ask students to please remember to bring a bowl in order to save a tree! And their special bonus is they don’t have to wait in line. A typical Souper Steller offers one vegetarian and one hearty meat soup along with fresh warm bread and fresh fruit. On rare occasions there are other treats.

Want to support??? PARENTS! We need more help, especially this Friday morning!!! Please email Alyse.galvin@gmail.com if you can pitch in an hour or two!!!! Or call 884-2299 (Alyse)

Students in Marla’s advisory are enthusiastic to volunteer with you! No experience necessary! If you would like to donate $treasure$ to this, please leave a check made out to Steller Parent Group (Soup in the memo line) at the front desk anytime – NOT at Souper Steller!

We will post future dates again, offering volunteer opportunities another day. With enough parent support signed up in advance, we will not have to cancel Souper Steller for any week we have scheduled.
